Chiefs must add corner depth

General manager John Dorsey has done a masterful job this offseason. He was able to retain Derrick Johnson, Eric Berry, Jaye Howard and Tamba Hali on defense, while keeping Jamell Fleming and Frank Zombo for the special teams. On offense, Dorsey went out and shocked us all with the signing of right tackle Mitchell Schwartz to a five-year deal, giving the team a much-improved offensive line.

However, Dorsey was not able to hold onto Sean Smith, who bolted for the Oakland Raiders on a four-year, $40 million deal. With Smith gone, the Chiefs desperately have to upgrade the cornerback position behind Pro Bowl rookie Marcus Peters, who led the league with eight interceptions in 2015.
